Any man who is contemplating becoming a pastor must seriously examine himself to determine if he is qualified to be a pastor or an elder. Failure to do so will bring God’s disapproval since the man is not qualified.
Some Christians are not aware that God has given us qualifications that are to guide us in choosing pastors. Unfortunately, some Christians operate with the world’s perspective that job or ministry performance is the criteria for determining if a pastor or elder should be appointed or “elected” to office and continue in office. They tell us to not be judgmental and just look at their performance. But in 1 Timothy 3: 2-7 and Titus 1:5-9 God has given us qualifications for selecting pastors, also called elders, and these qualifications are to be used to determine if they should remain in office.
Does he want to be in control? Unfortunately, the Call Committee will only discover this by asking the leaders of a church that he merienda pastored.
Patriarca: Se refiere al obispo que ejerce la Mando de una iglesia ortodoxa determinada, el que preside el Santo Sínodo de la misma y el representante de ella ante otras iglesias, religiones y estados (es el equivalente al rango católico de papa).
I wonder what would happen if the only qualification for ministry was a love for Jesus, a passion for God, a longing for intimacy with the Savior. I wonder what would happen if the job description for a minister was that he or she spend all of their time developing the skills (disciplines) for loving God . . . Dr. Richard Halverson is right We don’t want ministers anymore, we want CEOs. We don’t want prophets, we want politicians. We don’t want godliness, we want experience.
En la homilía, apto en el canal de los carmelitas en YouTube, se recogen las siguientes palabras del obispo Emérito: «Venimos del infinito bienquerencia de Dios, que nos ha dado la vida a través de nuestros padres y esto asegura tu origen, ¡no es un fracaso!
Peter is speaking to the elders when he encourages them to pastor or shepherd the flock. The Greek word for pastor or shepherd is poimaino

That is, they repeat the sin and do not stop. This does not mean that those involved in the restoration of the pastor or elder must start looking for other sins. Those involved in the process must not become judgmental and “pile-on” the elder.
El obispo emérito de Alcalá justifica sus palabras sobre la discapacidad y el pecado original: «No quise ofender a nadie»
Those who might object to the conclusion, because they believe that we are not to judge others, should carefully read the study “Gozque We Judge Others?” You will discover that Jesus was not preventing us from evaluating the character of potential spouses or the qualifications of leaders for example; otherwise, we would not have any basis on which to select any potential husband, find more info wife or leader. What is important is to please our Lord by selecting the pastors and leaders He wants.
The results were amazing. Most everyone said the pastor should spend most of his time in sermon preparation and teaching/preaching, but they thought he should spend only about 10 hours per week doing this. That told us that the leaders of this church did not really believe the duties of the pastor was to teach and preach. If they had, the number of hours should have been at least double. For an additional article dealing with the duties of a pastor, the selection of a pastor, and for a copy of the above mentioned questionnaire please read “Thoughts On Selecting A Pastor.” Another important article is “A Call: Teach The Bible.”
When this questionnaire has been used in the past, most leadership teams ranked sermon preparation and teaching and preaching near the top, but assigned a small number of hours to the responsibility – typically, less than ten hours per week. Administration, organization, counseling, time with people, and time with the staff received the greatest number of hours and a lower ranking.
Esto lo prueba primero el ejemplo de Jerusalén, donde Santiago, quien no era individuo de los doce Apóstoles, ocupaba el primer sitio, y luego por aquellas comunidades de Asia Beocio de las que acento Ignacio, y donde, a principios del siglo II existió el episcopado monárquico, pues Ignacio no escribe como si la institución fuera una nueva. Es cierto que en otras comunidades no se hace mención del episcopado monárquico hasta mediados del siglo II. No deseamos rehusar la opinión de los que creen que en muchos documentos del siglo II hay rastros del episcopado monárquico, es decir, de una autoridad superior a la del colegio de presbíteros-obispos. Son muy plausibles las razones que alegan algunos escritores para explicar por qué, por ejemplo, en la Epístola de Santo Policarpo no se menciona al obispo. Sin embargo, la mejor evidencia para la existencia en esta fecha temprana del episcopado monárquico es el hecho de que a fines del siglo II no se halla ningún rastro de algún cambio de ordenamiento. Tal cambio le habría quitado al colegio de presbíteros-obispos su autoridad soberana, y es casi irrealizable comprender cómo este cuerpo habría permitido de ser íntimo, secreto, individual, reservado, personal, de su autoridad en todas partes, sin dejar en los documentos contemporáneos la último evidencia de una protesta contra un cambio tan importante. Si el episcopado monárquico comenzó sólo a mediados del siglo II, es irrealizable comprender cómo a fines del siglo II eran generalmente conocidas y aceptadas las listas episcopales de muchas diócesis importantes que remontaban la sucesión de obispos tan acullá como al siglo I. Tal, por ejemplo, fue el caso de Roma.
